WORKING WITH VISUAL DATA IN HISTORY LESSONS: DEVELOPING CREATIVE THINKING THROUGH THE CREATION OF INFOGRAPHICS AND CLUSTERS
Keywords:
History, creative thinking, visualization, infographicsAbstract
This article examines the importance of developing skills for working with visual data in the process of teaching history to students in the initial stage of general secondary education (grades 7-8). It analyzes the psychological characteristics of students at this age, who are transitioning from concrete-imagistic thinking to abstract reasoning. The article provides practical and methodological recommendations on using infographics and cluster methods as tools for systematizing and creatively mastering large volumes of historical information (dates, events, personalities, cause-and-effect relationships). It substantiates with evidence that these technologies not only increase students' interest in the subject but also play a crucial role in developing their critical and creative thinking skills.
